Answer:
c = 6
a = 14
l = 28
t = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Free throws are usually worth one point each. We can assign variables and use equations to link information between Adam, Cheryl, Laura, and Tom. Then, we can just substitute in our information and solve.
"Adam scored 8 more points than Cheryl"
a = c + 8
"Laura scored twice as many points as Adam"
l = 2a
"Tom scored 10 points less than Laura"
t = l - 10
"Together the four friends scored a total of 66 points"
a + c + l + t = 66
Now we substitute in our variables and solve from there (see attached image)
c = 6
a = 14
l = 28
t = 18
